NJ FOSTER SCHOLARS

Donate funds to help a youth transitioning from foster care, or a recently adopted teen, pay for a college education.

A college education is often the key to helping youth achieve a successful transition to adulthood and self sufficiency. We need all the help we can get to help secure a positive future for our youth aging out of the foster care system.

The NJ Foster Scholars Program was developed in 2003 and is specifically designed to help youth aging-out of the foster care system, or recently adopted teens, with the growing expenses of a college education.

Students who are enrolled full-time at a New Jersey state college or university are eligible to receive assistance for their full tuition, and youth who attend school part-time, at an out-of-state school, or a private in-state school can be awarded up to $5,000 in assistance each year.
